A #WarCriminal without a #war - by #LisaNeedham - Dec 5, 2025

After spending several months bragging about killing people by bombing random boats in the #Caribbean, #DefenseSecretary #PeteHegseth is suddenly far less interested in taking credit for the “double tap” strike that occurred on September 2.

Why is Hegseth backing off? Turns out that even #Republicans are not so comfy with murdering survivors of a boat strike.

Hegseth faces Democrats in Congress for first time since Signal leaks

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has been met with sharp questions and criticism by lawmakers who demanded details on his moves to deploy troops to Los Angeles. Lawmakers also expressed bipartisan frustration Tuesday that Congress doesn't yet have a full defense budget from the Trump administration. The hearing before the House Appropriations defense subcommittee was the first time lawmakers have been able to challenge Trump’s defense chief directly. After persistent questioning about the cost of sending National Guard members and Marines to Los Angeles in response to protests over immigration raids, Hegseth turned to his acting comptroller, Bryn Woollacott MacDonnell, who said it would cost $134 million.
